On a cool day, dark clouds filled the air, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the black and oppressive clouds were like a curtain, which made people breathless...... しw0。

The howling wind outside the house beat the window lattice from time to time; sitting in the study, looking at the books spread out on the table; Gu Huai's eyes were empty, but his thoughts had already drifted away.

"Bang-"

The loud sound of the door being violently slammed open made Gu Huai's mind finally come back, and when he looked up, he saw Gu Ziqian, who was wet, with his face like an iceberg, his eyes half-squinted, standing at the door and not coming in, just looking at him in a daze.

"Did you do it to your little sister?"

There was no wave in his voice, without the slightest fluctuation, but Gu Huai understood that he was really angry, and opened his mouth to explain, but he could only say two words, "Ziqian......"

"Do you think that person is right?" Gu Ziqian's eyes darkened a little.

"No, it's not. Gu Huai anxiously wanted to explain.

"I thought you and the three brothers had the same heart, but it's different. Gu Ziqian's voice was cold and a little disappointed, with a slight determination.

Gu Huai grabbed Gu Ziqian, who turned around and wanted to leave, "Ziqian, listen to me, I ......"

"Take care of my mother. ”

Gu Ziqian shook off Gu Huai fiercely, and only left a sentence coldly, "If you make my mother sad again, hum!"

If this is the explanation that the Liu family gave to Gu Guogong's Mansion, to him, and to Xiaomei, then he doesn't have to show mercy to them.

"Mo Yu. ”

"The subordinates are here. ”

"Send a message to the head of the Situ family, and the head of the Nangong family invites them to welcome the guest house for a while. Gu Ziqian flicked his sleeves fiercely, turned around and walked towards the floating residence.

Mo Yu pursed her lips and frowned.

The Situ family has been a royal merchant for generations, dealing in ceramic jade, and the Nangong family's Xingyuan business house, which mainly sells gems and leather, but the Luwu Chamber of Commerce of their own son has a monopoly on the retail of Liangdu. The three families of each other have always stood on three legs, and each other's well water does not interfere with river water.

Gu Huai, who was left alone in the study, looked at the resolute back, the child who was waiting to be fed back then has grown up now, but he ...... Where is the courage to take Su Su away and fly high back then? I looked down at those hands, but I couldn't believe that I actually hit the baby who had been held in the palm of my hand since birth.

Hands, tightly clenched into fists, hammered the solid wood table, after the Buddha is released such pain can let yourself remember such hatred, in order to let yourself remember this painful lesson!

Amber Houfu, the Liu family?

Do you really think he can't do anything about them, huh!

......

For several days in a row, the weather was not beautiful, and the rainy season continued.

Just like the situation of Amber Houfu.

"You're going to find your aunt?"

Liu Hao's eyes were red, he stared at Liu Manting deadly, raised his hand and gritted his teeth, he couldn't wait to slap her to death, and he was gone.

Mrs. An Bohou's Xu Shi hugged Liu Manting tightly in her arms, "I sent the post, and I agreed to this matter, Ah Hao, if you want to beat me, hit me." ”

"Mother!" Liu Hao gritted his teeth and shaved Liu Manting viciously, "You just protect her, see if you can protect her for a lifetime." ”

With the support of her mother Xu, Liu Manting is also a little bolder.

"Brother, you can't help but think too highly of them, we have aunts and grandmothers to support us, what do they dare to do to us?"

It's been a few days since Dan Qingshan came back, and I haven't seen what they have done. At first, Liu Manting was worried that the Gu family's father and son would come to the door, but after several days of no movement in the Gu Guogong Mansion, her fear had long been put to the fore.

"Nothing?" Liu Hao snorted lightly, he couldn't get angry, and threw out a stack of account books from his sleeve, "See for yourself, idiot!"

Being hit by the heavy ledger, Liu Manting couldn't help but exclaim in pain; Xu hurriedly stepped forward, "Ah Hao, what are you doing, Tingting is your own sister! Tingting, are you okay?"

"Mother. Liu Manting pouted, tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Pretend, you pretend again, and when the whole Amber Houfu becomes an empty shell after two days, see if you still pretend." Liu Hao snorted lightly, really didn't want to look at the two mothers and daughters, turned to leave, and slammed the door with a bang.

Liu Manting bit her lower lip gently, "Mother, look at the eldest brother, he ......"

"Okay, don't be wronged. "In the end, it was the meat that fell from his body, how could the Xu family not understand, his son would have such a big temper, I'm afraid this girl doesn't know how big the basket is, but after all, it's his own daughter. The palms of his hands and the backs of his hands were full of meat, he picked up the ledger on the ground and opened it, turning the pages one by one, his face suddenly turned pale, and his hands trembled slightly and lost his voice, "What, how can this be?"

Liu Manting rubbed her forehead, puzzled, "Mother, what's going on?"

"No, how can this be?" Xu was completely shocked.

The 35 shops under the name of Amber Houfu were cut off at the same time, but many of them signed long-term cooperation contracts with customers, and if they could not deliver the goods, they would have to pay a large amount of compensation. There are also two Zhuangzi outside the city, which have been hit by insect infestations at the same time, and this year's harvest is afraid to be greatly reduced.

Liu Manting has never been able to understand the general affairs and account books, and she looked at Xu's pale face, pursed her lips, and could only stand beside her.

"Mama Wang, go and find the Hou Ye and the prince. ”

Thinking of Liu Hao's angry appearance just now, the faint Xu family felt that this matter was inseparable from Liu Manting, "Tingting, did you offend anyone outside?"

Thinking about it, this succession of things happened too coincidentally; if it weren't for someone deliberately targeting Amber Houfu, she would never believe it; although she is usually arrogant, she knows how to measure, and her son is also sensible, and the only one is this daughter who doesn't know the height of the sky.

"Mother, what do you say? Liu Manting pouted and resolutely refused to admit it.

As soon as Mama Wang, who went to invite someone, walked halfway to meet An Bohou and Liu Hao, who was dragged by him to the main courtyard.

"Master Hou. ”

Seeing this, Xu hurriedly caught up.

"Smack-"

She was greeted with a loud slap, and before Xu checked, the whole person staggered and fell on the coffee table next to her, and the dishes and cups on the coffee table collided with each other with a crisp sound.

"Mother, are you okay!" Seeing this, Liu Manting trotted quickly to help Xu up, turned her head and pouted at An Bohou, "Dad, what are you doing here?"

"Lord Hou......"

Xu was also miserable.

"Hmph, see for yourself what you do!"

An Bohou threw out the Minghuang in his hand and threw it on the coffee table, glared at Liu Manting viciously, and raised his hand, but was blocked by Xu, "Master, do I still want to do it to the child after you beat him?"

"Ouch hey, I'm not alive, I'm ......"

"Why am I so miserable!"

"Woo ......"

Liu Hao didn't know what was going on, but at this moment, he picked up the Ming Huang and unfolded it, and when he saw the words on it, he was suddenly shocked, "How, how can this be?"

"You ask me, who do I ask?" Thinking that in the court, his colleagues who usually eat, drink and have fun avoided him one by one like a plague, and he was angry.

Xu's heart also trembled, "Ah Hao, here, what happened......" She swallowed her saliva with difficulty, looked up at An Bohou with some carelessness, and then turned her head to look at Liu Hao.

"Now that you're satisfied, Dad has been suspended!" Liu Hao's face was dark and calm.

"No, how, how can this be?"

Xu Shi swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and sat down on the chair in despair, shaking his head, "Master, didn't this majesty say the reason?"

Suspension, if it is more serious, is the dignity left by the royal family to the courtiers, forcing the courtiers to ask for their own office.

But his own marquis is in the prime of life, although he has not been conscientious and conscientious these years, but he has done things quite beautifully, how can he not ......

"It's difficult, is it the Gu family?"

"Hmph!" Liu Hao snorted softly.

"Okay, good Gu Huai, I'll go to them. Xu was immediately annoyed.

"Looking, who are you looking for?" An Bohou hated itchy, "You don't care about the good daughter you taught, hum, it's not a small courage." Gu Jinxi is lucky to come back safely, this is just a lesson, this Hou Ye didn't know, you dared to push people off the cliff, why didn't you push yourself down, rebel girl, rebel girl!"

"I'm ......" Liu Manting's body trembled, and the whole person was almost stupid, "I'll go find my aunt and grandmother!"

"Stop!" snorted Amberhou.

Liu Manting's body suddenly stiffened, but she didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere when she was facing An Bohou.

"But master, the Gu family, the Gu family is going to be wiped out. ”

The Xu family, who finally came back to her senses, if the sudden incident in the Amber Houfu was not done by the Gu family, she would not believe it.

An Bohou's face sank, "Kill them all?" Hmph, don't you know that those men of the Gu family regard Gu Jinxi as the pearl of their palms? Since they dare to murder Gu Jinxi, they must have the ability to bear the consequences. ”

"But Dad, is there really no other way for us to do it?" Liu Hao's eyes flashed, and he sighed heavily.

"After a few days, Gu Guogong's anger has subsided, let's talk about it. Amber gave up weakly.

In the eyes of outsiders, they are in-laws, they are Gu Guogong's mother's family, but only they know; Gu Huai doesn't have much affection for Liufu, and he is polite on weekdays, and most of them are for the sake of Old Madam Gu. But now......

Xu swallowed his saliva with difficulty, "But master, if we wait a few more days, I'm afraid our entire Amber Houfu will have to sleep in the open." ”

"What's going on?" Amber Hou's face darkened.

"See for yourself. Xu handed over the account book, his hands still trembling a little.

Guan Niangzi, who was in charge of purchasing in the house, said that she ran all over Liangdu, and the rice and grain merchants refused to sell things to our Amber Houfu, and she still ran to several villages to buy today's weight from the villagers at a high price. Liu Hao seemed to feel that it was not enough, so he added another residence.

An Bohou only browsed roughly, and the whole person was stunned, "How can this be?"

"Gu Ziqian!" Liu Hao coldly spat out three words.

"I immediately went to visit the Situ family master and the Nangong family master. An Bohou's face was a little ugly, but he quickly thought of the reason, as long as the two families spoke, they thought that the other people would not have trouble with them again.

It's a pity.

Braving the heavy rain, all the prayer notes handed out were returned.

"I'm sorry Amberwait, but my head of the house is not here. ”

"I'm sorry Amber, my head of the house is gone!"

"Sorry Amber waits ......"

“......”

After coming out of An Bo Hou's Mansion for half a day, holding an umbrella and waiting outside the door of the Orchid Trading House, An Bo Hou was already like ashes, and it was difficult to see the extreme.

"I'm sorry Amberwait, but my family president is gone. ”

Qingshan supported the crumbling An Bohou and shook his head in his heart. The Orchid Commercial Bank is just one of the thousands of commercial banks in Liangdu, where do you dare to go against the three major commercial banks to survive between the cracks.

"Master Hou, let's go back. ”

"Hey—"

An Bohou lowered his eyelids, running in the rain for a long time but without any results; his eyes flashed, Gu family, when did Gu Ziqian actually have this ability; how much benefit did he give to the Situ family's Nangong family? Glaring fiercely at the door of the orchid trading house, when did he be so condescending, when was he so embarrassed, if it wasn't for that rebel girl who offended the Gu family......

"Master, how's it going?"

As soon as he returned to Amber Houfu, Xu greeted him and wiped his wet hair with a dry cotton cloth.

"No, I can't. ”

Amber shook his head feebly.

Xu's face suddenly turned pale and pale, "Why, how can this be? Could it be that both the Situ family and the Nangong family plan to fall into the ground?"

Today, many customers have come to the door, if they can't find the supply within three days......

"It's all to blame on that wicked girl, wicked girl!"

When did he ever suffer such humiliation, as long as he thought that he was turned away by a businessman who usually did not care about it, An Bohou was angry.

"Where's the wicked girl?"

"Mother, I heard that my father is back!" As soon as An Bohou's voice fell, a delicate female voice immediately sounded outside the door; looking up, the woman was dressed in brocade clothes, with beautiful colors, and a golden hairpin on her head.

When Liu Manting first entered the house and saw An Bohou, she immediately greeted her, "Ah, Dad, your clothes are wet, why don't you go back to the room to change your set." ”

"Hmph. "Originally, I wanted to get angry, but because of Liu Manting's concern, the fire was smaller.

"My daughter just made an appointment with Sister Lan today to go to the brocade workshop to make new clothes, but the shopkeeper of the brocade workshop was too much, and even ignored me, and said that all the fabrics and ready-to-wear were not supplied to Amber Houfu, ...... father" Liu Manting pouted, wherever she went on weekdays, it was Miss Jiao who was rushed by others to flatter, but now it has become a plague that everyone avoids, how can Liu Manting bear this kind of gap, "That shopkeeper is really hateful, let's close his shop." ”

"Smack-"

An Bohou couldn't help it, raised his hand and slapped her, "It's sealed, I think you're crazy!"

"Tingting, Tingting, are you okay?"

Xu hurriedly helped Liu Manting up, turned his head to look at An Bohou, "Master Hou, what are you doing to make your daughter angry." ”

"If it weren't for the good things she did, Master Hou, I would have to whisper to those lowly businessmen?" An Bohou only felt that his chest hurt with anger, but Liu Manting seemed to be not pouring enough oil, covering her side face, "It's just some lowly businessmen, why should you whisper to them and let people arrest them directly." ”

"You ......" An Bohou raised his hand, and Xu hurriedly blocked in front of Liu Manting when he saw this, "Master, calm down." ”

"Hmph, look for yourself the good daughter you taught, it's true, it's really ......"

An Bohou swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and suddenly took a deep breath, "Come on, tie up the young lady for me and throw it into the firewood room." ”

"Yes. The subordinate immediately responded.

Xu's face changed sharply, "Master, what are you doing?" You, you hurry up and let go of Miss, don't let go quickly!"

"Take it away!" Amber ordered.

"Daddy, Daddy......"

"Tomorrow, you will take her to the Gu Guogong Mansion for me to apologize, if you can't ask for the Gu family's forgiveness, you don't have to come back!" An Bohou was very angry.

Although he didn't understand how Gu Ziqian managed to get the three major commercial houses in the entire Yundu to unite to block the Amber Mansion, but the matter had come to this point, if he still couldn't make up his mind, I was afraid that in two days, the entire Amber Mansion would become a joke in the whole Liangdu.

Xu's body trembled, "I, I'm not going!"

"Okay, if you don't go, I'll go!"

It's shameful enough to lose it today, and it's just like that if you lose it again, "Qingshan, go to Peach Red Courtyard." ”

"Lord Hou......"

Looking at the back of An Bohou leaving, Xu gritted his teeth at you, the people living in the peach courtyard are not those young and good foxes.

"Madame, why do you bother? "Mama Wang is mixed with Xu's.

Xu lowered his eyelids, his eyes flashed, and he grabbed Mama Wang's hand, "Tingting is also his daughter, what do you say he is, how can he ......"

Gu Guogong's Mansion was really ruthless this time, and he actually wanted to cut off the life of the entire Amber Mansion!

If it is really up to An Bohou to escort Liu Manting to apologize tomorrow, where will Tingting's face be placed in the future, those high-ranking officials and nobles, celebrities and nobles are afraid that they will not want such a disgraced person to be their daughter-in-law.

No, she will never let An Bohou ruin Tingting's life.

"Shizi, is there really no way?" Qingshu looked at Liu Hao, who was sitting in the room, borrowing wine to drown his sorrows, with a worried face.

I've thought of all the ways I can.

"Situ Gongzi and Liuyun Gongzi don't get close to each other on weekdays, why don't Shizi go and probe their tone?" suddenly seemed to sound something, and Qingshu was surprised.

Liu Hao raised his eyelids, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Situ Yuan, Nangong Liuyun, are close on weekdays, but that is because of the relationship between the Seventh Prince Qin Xiang. Didn't he think he hadn't thought of looking for them? But they didn't even want to meet each other, so what else was there to say.

Gu Jia, Gu Ziqian, Gu Jinxi......

For the first time, he realized the Gu family's protection and strength so clearly.

......

into the king's mansion.

Qin Nian sat sideways on the soft couch, holding the red swaddling clothes in her arms, teasing the shadow in the swaddling clothes, and opposite her, a plain woman leaned on the soft couch, smiling with her eyebrows and eyes, looking at them lovingly.

"When the slave maid went to the brocade workshop today, I heard that the shops in the entire Liangdu are not taking the work of Amber Houfu, and the county lord said that it was funny or not. Sitting on the embroidery pier, the woman who was carefully embroidering the appearance of a maid with a small belly pocket laughed softly.

Qin Nian didn't even raise his eyelids, and his tone was not salty or light, "Who let them provoke people who shouldn't be provoked." ”

"Nian Nian. The plain-shirted woman's tone was light, but gentle, "Give me the child, he should be hungry." ”

"Sister-in-law, you spoil him too much, obviously you have a nurse, why do you have to ...... yourself" Qin Nian handed over the swaddling clothes in his arms with some reluctance.

The woman in the plain shirt just smiled and said nothing.

But Qin Nian understands that after nine deaths and a lifetime, this child is lucky, and they really cherish it.

"Sister-in-law, you have a good rest first, I have an appointment with Miss Meng Jingxian. Qin Nian lowered his eyelids, and his eyes flashed.

The plain-shirted woman bowed slightly, "Miss Gu and we have a life-saving grace, take the time to see her for me." ”

"Hmm. Qin Nian nodded.

In the Welcome Building.

Meng Jingxian and Qin Nian have been friends for many years, and they have a thorough understanding of each other's thoughts, but Qin Nian, who has experienced conspiracy and life and death, has more rare calmness than in the past.

"Actually, I'm really curious, what kind of person Miss Gu is. ”

"Jingxian ......" Qin Nian picked up the tea and took a sip gently.

"I understand. Meng Jingxian smiled slightly, and turned her head to look at Qin Nian, "Actually, even if you don't say it, I'm afraid that the Amber Houfu won't get any benefits." ”

Qin Nian frowned slightly and looked at her puzzled.

"Earlier, someone had a direct message to my father, and although I didn't know the original words, I probably knew them. Meng Jingxian smiled slightly, "Those who have been suspended, they will be saved." That's why I'm curious, Miss Gu, how can she let you all protect her like this. ”

Those who dare to directly send someone to talk to their father, who is the head of the household book, must not be worse than the identity.

"Oh?" Qin Nian's frowning eyebrows did not disperse, and even his tone was tangled.

"Actually, it's not better. There are some things I can say to my father, but the effect may not be better than this. "Meng Jingxian is as her name suggests, gentle and demure.

Coming out of the welcome building, I just saw Gu Ziqian who came out with Nangong Liuyun Situ Yuan in the van; the two looked at each other in the air, but they quickly turned their faces away.

......

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

The food stock of the entire Amber Hou Mansion has been exhausted, and the food and clothing of more than 100 people up and down the mansion has become a problem.

came to the door twice in a row, but the gate of poor Gu Guogong's mansion could not enter.

The entire Amber Mansion is filled with low air pressure that makes it difficult to breathe.

"Master, is there really no way?" Thinking of what he did two days ago, Xu was a little weak-hearted, Xu didn't dare to look at An Bohou's face, only his eyes flashed, "Auntie doesn't care?"

"Auntie, aunt, I can't even see my aunt's face now, what can I do. An Bohou was very angry. "Later, the people from the household department will send some money to save two days, and I will think of other ways. ”

Xu nodded, it could only be like this.

The rain was still dripping, and the whole hall was empty, waiting for the people sent by the household department to deliver rice and silver.

"Maybe it's because it's raining late. Xu comforted himself.

An Bohou doesn't have as much of a heart as her, when will the Hubu Yulu be late;

"I'm going to find Gu Ziqian!" Liu Hao swished up.

"Woo woo woo!"

"Dad, I'm so hungry. ”

Suddenly, the sound of children crying sounded in the house, and An Bohou, who was already upset, felt even more angry.

"Cry, cry what cry. ”

"Big brother, you're not right. A sharp voice with anger sounded, "Your big house has offended people but it has affected our entire Amber Houfu, is it wrong for the child to eat when he is hungry?

An Bohou's face was dark.

"Hmph, she Liu Manting got into trouble, patted her buttocks, and ran back to her grandfather's house to eat and drink spicy food, but let the entire people of Amber Houfu starve and wipe her buttocks, what is going on?" The woman in a brocade robe with a azure bafura skirt was holding a crying child about three years old in her arms.

"Mother, mother, I'm so hungry, woo woo......"

"What did you say?" Amber looked up, his eyes glaring viciously at the speaker.

"Why, do you dare to be afraid of people to say? You called Liu Manting out. "The woman is also a sharp mouth.

An Bohou turned his head to look at Xu, "You did it?"

"I did it, so what. Liu Shihui, let me tell you, I won't let you ruin the rest of Tingting's life. If you really do that, how will Tingting marry in the future, isn't she your daughter, ...... you?"

"You ......," Amber swallowed with difficulty.

"Big brother, don't you, I said that there are some of these things, I just ask you, when will the Lumi you promised arrive; it doesn't hurt that we adults starve for a day or two, but the children can't stand it. The woman glared at Xu, and instantly became yin and yang, "Sister-in-law is so capable, why don't you let your mother's family help us with some rice grain, even if you use double the price." By the way, doesn't the Xu family still have a rice shop?"

When Xu Shi heard this, her whole face was extremely ugly, she didn't think about it, "Xia Xue, you slut, hmph, I don't believe that you don't know that the Xu family's rice store has been cut off." ”

The remaining inventory is also used to maintain the daily life of the rice store and the expenses of the Xu family.

"Hmph, I just don't know if the Xu family knew that they were cut off because of your baby daughter, they would still accept her as a broom star. Xia Shi hugged the child and turned his head to look at An Bohou, "Big brother, you are the head of the family, do you want to watch us all starve to death?"

"That's enough!" Amber took a deep breath, "Give me one night, and I'll figure it out." ”

"It's better to be so. Xia glared at Xu viciously, and just as he turned around and was about to leave, he heard footsteps outside the door.

"Mother-"

Suddenly, a familiar call sounded, and Xu looked up to see Liu Manting, who was wearing a cloak, followed by several subordinates of the Xu family, and he was also carrying a package in his hand, which could be seen to be very messy, and it had obviously been checked.

"Mother, cousin, cousin, they all bullied me. Liu Manting threw herself into Xu's arms.

Xu raised his head and looked at his maternal nephew, "Zhen'er, what's going on?"

"What's going on? The third aunt's abacus is really good, if it weren't for sending my cousin back, I'm afraid we would all be kept in the dark, and the major shops of our Xu family were suppressed by the three major trading houses because of you. Xu Zhen's face was ugly, "My cousin is delicate and expensive, our Xu family can't tolerate this big Buddha, so I'll send you back now and say goodbye." ”

"Zhen'er, don't ......" Xu wanted to say something more, but Xu Zhen didn't reply.

She could only turn her head and ask Liu Manting, "Tingting, what's going on?"

"I'm all to blame my aunt for being so stingy. Liu Manting pouted, "From yesterday to today, I only eat two meals a day, and there are only vegetarian dishes, where are people used to eating, mother......"

"You ......"

Hearing Liu Manting's chattering complaints, Rao couldn't listen to the Xu family, who was tolerant of Liu Manting, and raised his hand and slapped it fiercely, "You, you ......"

"Mother, you beat me too. Liu Manting had tears in her eyes and covered her side face, "I hate you, I hate you!"

As he spoke, he rushed straight into the rain and ran out.

After watching the lively Xia's mouth, the corners of his mouth hooked obliquely, and he snorted lightly.

"The daughter taught by my sister-in-law is really different, she dislikes vegetarian rice, but we haven't even fished cold rice all day. Xia snorted softly, propped up the umbrella, looked down at the child who had cried and slept, his face sank;

An Bohou's face was difficult to see the extreme, "Qingshan posted a notice to me, since ancient times, merchants have been profitable, I don't believe it, those merchants are really not moved." ”

"Yes. Aoyama bowed his head in response.

The news of Amber Houfu's high purchase of rice and grain caused a sensation in the entire Liangdu for a while.

Sure enough, the Wuwu Chamber of Commerce, which originally suppressed Amber Houfu, immediately sent people to come, and finally sold the rice and grain to Amber Houfu at a price ten times higher than the market price, of course, there was no meat, and the price of meat was naturally more expensive.

And so it went on for three days.

"Bang-"

While eating, Liu Manting suddenly began to lose her temper again, "What is this, Dad, the people from the Wuwu Chamber of Commerce are too much, and there are stones in the rice." ”

"Eat if you want, get out if you don't. "Recently, An Bohou has been very annoyed by the food and clothing problem of more than 100 people in the house.

However, in just three days, nearly 10,000 taels of silver were spent, and only in and out, even gold and silver could not withstand such expenses;

Liu Manting suddenly gritted her teeth, tears and tears, and Xu Shi was distressed again, "Master Hou, what are you doing, Tingting is young, you can just say something." ”

"Say, say, say, how many years have you been talking, if it weren't for her, would this Hou Ye be so troubled?"

originally thought of coming to the door to accompany Gu Jinxi, but his elders bowed their heads, and the juniors still didn't let go?

But the Gu family didn't even let the door in.

Eating these extremely expensive white rice and vegetarian dishes every day, is he getting better?

"Hmph, if you don't eat, you won't eat!" Liu Manting angrily threw the chopsticks.

"Since she doesn't eat, she doesn't need to be fed these two days. Amber looked at the rice that had fallen to the ground, if it had been placed in the past, he would not have felt it, but now he ...... It's all white silver.

Xu pursed her lips, and she didn't say anything, but she just sent it quietly.

"If I find out who is quietly bringing her food, then you won't have to eat it anymore. An Bohou's face sank, and he didn't believe that he couldn't cure them.

Xu Shi was suddenly angry, but he couldn't.

......

Outside the window, the light rain was pouring down.

The news in Liangdu City also spread more and more, and the situation of Amber Houfu became worse and worse, almost to the point where everyone shouted and beat them;

Gradually, the news also spread to the Gu Guogong Mansion.

"It's just, it's just too much. After hearing the news, Mrs. Gu slapped her fiercely and scolded sharply, "Ahuai, call Ahuai to me." ”

Mama Jiang lowered her head, "Three days ago, the old man went to the outside of the city and has not returned. ”

"Oh?" Old Madam Gu's chest rose and fell, "Where's Mama Liao?"

"The old slave is here. Mama Liao just came back from the small kitchen with refreshments, "Old lady, you can't be angry, Dr. Lin said, your body needs to recuperate, recuperate." ”

Old Madam Gu was so angry that she knocked on her crutches, "Don't be angry, how can I not be angry, this Amber Houfu has run out of food, Ah Huai, Ah Huai has really gone too far this time!"

"Old lady, my lord has always been busy with political affairs, how can he bother to care about that. Mama Liao almost took it out of the tray and put it on the small incense table, "According to the old slave, I am afraid that this matter is inseparable from the third young master." ”

The entire Gu Guo Mansion was in the company of the merchants, and there was no one else except that one.

When Old Madam Gu heard this, her face sank, and when she thought of Gu Ziqian, a touch of disgust flashed in her eyes, "A-Ying, you hurry up and go to the account room to pay two hundred taels of silver, exchange it for rice and noodles and send it to Amber Houfu." ”

"Yes. Mama Liao bowed her head.

"A few days ago, when the lord left, he ordered that anyone who withdraws more than fifty taels in the house must hold his handwritten yellow note. Mama Jiang stood next to her and added in a timely manner.

Old Madam Gu was suddenly angry, "Can't Mrs. Ben want a few hundred taels of silver?"

"This, now the master is not in the house......" Mama Liao pursed her lips.

"From my private treasury. Old Madam Gu's face was gloomy.

"Yes. Mama Liao lowered her head, and Mama Jiang pursed her lips, but she didn't say anything more, but her eyes darkened.

Soon, Mama Liao left and came back.

Looking at her face, you can know that she has obviously eaten the closed door soup too.

"Old lady, this old slave can't buy anything. ”

"What?" Old Madam Gu gritted her teeth, and her crutches hit the ground with a "smack" sound, "What about Gu Ziqian, call Gu Ziqian to me." ”

"I don't know what is the important matter for my grandmother to find Ziqian?" As soon as he walked outside the door, he heard Mrs. Gu's scolding.

The corners of Gu Ziqian's mouth were hooked, and his face was cold.

"You did it?" Old Madam Gu said in a vicious tone.

"Yes. Gu Ziqian is not shy about it.

"You ......" Old Madam Gu took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, "Then why don't you hurry up and let them let Amber Houfu go, you can't kill them all?"

The corners of Gu Ziqian's mouth were hooked, and his eyes were deep, "Grandmother, didn't you forget, Amber Houfu still owes Xi'er an explanation." ”

"You ......"

Old Madam Gu swallowed her saliva with difficulty, "Your cousin has been turned away by you several times when he brought people to the door, what else do you want?"

"How is it?" Gu Ziqian's tail voice rose, "It's just a lesson." My Gu Ziqian's sister is not so easy to bully!" is that the whole world doesn't want Xi'er, at least there is him Gu Ziqian.

As long as he Gu Ziqian is in one day, others will not want to bully him Gu Ziqian's pearl!

Old Madam Gu understood, although she didn't understand what tricks he had used to unite the three major trading houses in Liangdu, but now was not the time to be angry, "If you want to be angry, you've done enough, what else do you want?"

"Let go of the twenty-one shops on Nancheng Thirteenth Street and change them to Xi'er's name, and let Liu Manting kneel down in public and apologize to Xi'er!" Gu Ziqian squinted at Old Madam Gu coldly.

Old Madam Gu didn't want to blurt out, "Impossible!"

"In that case, let's go ahead. ”

The corners of Gu Ziqian's mouth snorted lightly, he was not afraid that Amber Houfu would not obey.

"You ......" Old Madam Gu gritted her teeth with hatred.

"Grandmother should not forget what her current surname is. Gu Ziqian snorted coldly, turned his head and stepped into the rain again.

Seeing the rise and fall of Old Madam Gu's chest, Mama Liao hurriedly patted her gently, "Old Madam, don't be angry, wait for the old man to come back......"

"What about coming back? Shihui was suddenly suspended, don't say it's not his troublemaker. ”

Old Madam Gu closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "That's it, money is something outside the body, you immediately take my post and send it to Shihui, he will understand what to do." ”

"Huh. Mama Liao responded.

It seems that she really can't back down anymore, and the calculation time is not short, in three months, on the birthday of Mrs. Liu, she will bring Yan'er back, as well as Su Yi and Gu Jinxi......

These two people really can't stay any longer.

......

At that time, the Amber Houfu, who received Mrs. Gu's post, was in a mess.

"Why, it's too much. ”

Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, he gritted his teeth, and his face was extremely ugly; among the twenty-one shops on the thirteenth street of Nancheng, eleven of them belonged to their big houses, and the other ten belonged to the Zhonggong, but they made a lot of money every year, and most of them were in their own hands.

Amber Houfu's complexion is also very unsightly.

"It's quite excessive, why did Liu Manting wipe her ass with Zhonggong's shop. Xia held the child and patted it gently, still holding his throat.

Only An Bohou looked at Mama Liao calmly at this moment, "This is Gu Guogong's original words?"

"The old man has not returned, this is what the third young master said. Mama Liao lowered her head, looked at An Bohou as the old lady's blood relative, thought about it and added, "Madame is pregnant again, the old man doesn't care about these things, and now the third young master in the house has the final say." ”

"What, Su Yi is pregnant again?" Xu suddenly screamed.

"......" Mama Liao bowed her head and said nothing.

Xu Shi wrung his handkerchief stiffly, "Hmph, she has a good life, why don't you see that the concubine of Gu Guogong's mansion is pregnant?"

"Enough. An Bohou took a deep breath, "Please tell Gu Sanshao that I will prepare the title deed of the shop tomorrow and wait for him in the welcome building." ”

Mama Liao bowed slightly, "The old lady said that money is something outside the body, so that Hou Ye can see it lightly; Miss Ting is not too young, it's time to find her an in-law." ”

"Yes, thank you aunt for your concern. An Bohou lowered his head, naturally understanding the meaning of Old Madam Gu's words.

Before this matter is exposed, find Liu Manting's in-laws.

But Xu didn't think about it so deeply, thinking of the twenty-one shops that were about to be lost, his heart was dripping blood, "Hmph, don't let her fake kindness." ”

"Smack-"

An Bohou raised his hand and slapped Xu Shi fiercely, "Go back to the room for me, you are not allowed to go out of the door for half a step without my order, and the middle feed in the house will be handed over to my younger siblings to take care of." ”

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. Xia raised his eyebrows and smiled defiantly at Xu.

In the past, the Xu family was in charge of Zhonggong, but they did not deduct the food and food of their second room, but now the feng shui rotates.

"Liu Shihui, what do you mean you!" Xu struggled dissatisfiedly.

"Didn't you hear what the Marquis said?" An Bohou was completely determined.

Xu turned his head to look at Liu Hao, who was sitting next to him and never said a word, "Ah Hao, Ah Hao, don't you care about your mother?"

"Mother is tired, go back to the room and rest. Liu Hao raised his hand and rubbed his temples.

Twenty-one shops are certainly painful, but the governor of Amber Hou has no way to do it in the past. What he was even more curious about was what Gu Ziqian had to do to make the Situ Nangong family cooperate with him at the same time, as well as the master of the Wuwu Chamber of Commerce, who had always been mysterious in the background, did he acquiesce to Gu Ziqian's abuse of power like this?

Until everyone left, and the whole room was left with only father and son.

Liu Hao raised his eyelids slightly, "Dad." ”

"In the end, we underestimated Gu Ziqian. Amber sighed heavily.

originally thought that Gu Huai had always been filial, and Gu Ziqian was also an unsuccessful person, so he only asked his aunt to call the shots, and they couldn't afford any big waves, but they didn't want them to let the businessman they had always looked down on be forced into a desperate situation.

"About Manting's marriage. ”

Liu Hao pursed his lips, his face was dark and calm, and after thinking for a while, he still said the matter of the Danqingshan Royal Residence.

When An Bohou heard this, his face suddenly turned shocked, "You, what did you say? What about the prince, what does he mean?"

"......" Liu Hao shook his head.

"Is he planning to make our Liu family suffer a dumb loss?" An Bohou's face became more and more ugly, with Liu Manting's status as the crown princess, there is no need to think about it, but it is more than enough to be a side concubine or a lady.

But now Qin Nan didn't say the slightest, did he really bully them, and there was no one in the Liu family?

Liu Hao's face narrowed slightly, and his face sank, "Our Liu family has always been close to the Seventh Prince, and this marriage is ......."

"That's it. An Bohou nodded, Qin Nan didn't say anything now, although the daughter of their An Bohou Mansion was not worried about getting married, but Liu Manting's innocence had been lost, and that man was ......

If you want to pick a good one, I'm afraid you can't, if it's bad, Liu Manting's temperament is ......

Thinking about it, Amber Hou's eyes darkened, "In two days, I will ask the master of Cuilongan to shave her, and let her practice in the family temple in the future." ”

"It's fine. "That's the best outcome.

"Tomorrow in the Welcome Building, I'll be with my father. Liu Hao sighed heavily, he had never put Gu Ziqian in his eyes in the past, but now he is......

I have always heard that Gu Ziqian has a great friendship with the Nine Emperor Princes, will the Nine Emperor Princes intervene in the affairs of Amber Houfu this time?

Could it be that the Nine Emperor Princes are not as carefree as he appears on the surface, and he also wants to fight for that position?

Gu Jinxi is the fiancée of the Seventh Prince, the Seventh Imperial Concubine, how could Gu Ziqian support the Ninth Emperor, isn't he afraid that Gu Jinxi will be difficult to do in the future?

He loves Gu Jinxi so much, how could he ......

The questions came to mind one after another, and Liu Hao suddenly only felt as if he had never understood the Gu family, nor Gu Ziqian, just like Gu Jinxi, who impressed him one after another.

I don't know why, but there is a very strange feeling in my heart.

For Gu Jinxi's three words, it seems that he is not so repulsed as in the past;
